Morning Song for Sally - Nanci Griffith

As the morning light stretched in across my bed

I thought of you

Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said

I love you too

As all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times

The way they race my heart I cannot say it all in lines

How the short time together lasts so long

Makes me strong

As two weeks came and went then you and I were gone

Living on

For it seems our love was destined to be caught in other nets

But the love we held so brief I’d chance again without regret

Yes, standing by the road has been my song before

Much too long

But now somehow I’m forced to see me there once more

And that’s the song

For my waking thoughts of you are but extensions of the dream

Without you here beside me

I’ll never know all that they mean
